See it, it is a masterpiece imo the greatest film ever made. 2025 Best Picture at the Oscars. It will show netflix that theatrical releases are still viable.

Incorrect. It's not just a film festival, it's also one of the 3 main sales markets for the year. Trying to win a Palme d'Or is one thing. Likely not worth the campaign.

Cannes is the curtain on the first half of the year. Huge volume of deals, then will slow to a trickle until TIFF. So, if you don't close at Cannes it's usually another 3 months before you have another real chance to get some deal traction.

I mean, sure, but I don't think the other Best Picture contenders this year fit that bill either.

As much as I like this movie, it has a narrow audience. It has an arthouse feel that will bore people. I'm somebody who goes to Sundance every year and personally knew Denis Johnson, so of course I liked this movie. But setting my biases aside, that's my sense.

What is your pick? I think Eddington is the other good film I have seen this year but most of the good stuff comes out soon. Hamnet might be good. OBAA was ass imo. Maybe Sinners wins because of white guilt

Variety has Train Dreams as a predicted Best Picture nominee. https://variety.com/lists/2026-oscars-best-picture-predictions/1236444217/

I think it perfectly captures the beauty of a region of the US not often portrayed in cinema. It will sneak up on people.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 95% of 106 critics' reviews are positive. The website's consensus reads: "A gorgeous meditation on America, ably shouldered by one of Joel Edgerton's very best performances, Train Dreams takes on mythic proportions while maintaining an intimate emotional delicacy."[13] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 87 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[14]

this is a very good movie. at several points i caught myself thinking i was watching the assassination of jesse james... which is vastly better and in my opinion one of the best films ever made. i think the scope of the message might have been too big for any movie and the last 20 minutes seemed rushed and i felt slightly let down, but this is a very good movie.
